You're having your biggest revenue months ever, but it feels like the wheels are coming off your operations. In many founder-led businesses, the founder has unknowingly become the operating system. I'm Daniela - a Top Rated Plus operations consultant, and I help founder-led businesses get from founder-reliant to systems-driven - so they scale with higher profitability, less owner dependency, and growth that doesn't create chaos. My clients are founder-led businesses in e-commerce, DTC, and service industries, typically between $1M and $15M in revenue. Across my engagements, founders have reduced their operational involvement by 70–80%, recovered 10–15 hours a week, and removed revenue ceilings that were blocking 25–50% growth. Most operations consultants sell tool configuration. They build basic checklists or link apps together without ever understanding the business. But if the underlying logic of how the business runs is broken, technology and change don't solve problems; they create more. I don't sell software setup - I fix how your business runs at a structural level. 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 ↪ 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: the business runs on the founder, not on systems, and it's blocking growth ↪ 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀: no standard way to run recurring work; everything is reactive ↪ 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀: no SOPs, no wiki, no handoff structure ↪ 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀: the team and processes are stretched to their limits, holding back revenue 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 ↗ $𝟭𝟱𝗠 𝗔𝗥𝗥 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲/𝗗𝗧𝗖 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: designed an operational architecture to reduce CEO involvement by 70-80% and move operational routing into systems. ↗ $𝟱𝗠 𝗔𝗥𝗥 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: recovered 10-15 hours per week for the founder by redesigning workflows, delegation systems, and operational structure. ↗ $𝟭𝟮-𝟭𝟱𝗠 𝗔𝗥𝗥 𝗜𝗧 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆: implemented an enterprise knowledge management system that reduced senior consultant dependence for knowledge transfer and supported growth from 80 to 100 employees. ↗ $𝟳𝗠 𝗔𝗥𝗥 service business: automated key operational workflows and created client-level profitability visibility that leadership had never previously had. ↗ 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗘𝗢 (~$𝟭𝗠+ 𝗔𝗥𝗥 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀): redesigned operating model across all entities and prevented a $7K–15K unnecessary platform migration. 𝗠𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 1. Diagnose where growth is being constrained. 2. Identify where the founder is still acting as the operating system. 3. Design the structure and systems required to remove those constraints. 4. Implement the changes and document everything. 5. Train the team and ensure the system operates without constant founder involvement. 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 Before starting my own business, I spent a decade inside enterprise brands, including JBL and Harman Kardon. I have worked in sales operations, process improvement, knowledge management, automation, and business systems. That experience lets me quickly identify patterns, understand what the business actually needs, and build systems that hold in the real world — not just in presentations. 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 I work inside ClickUp, Monday, Confluence, Zapier, Make, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. The platforms listed are examples; my experience spans a broad range of comparable enterprise and growth systems. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 ✅ 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - A focused, 30-minute operational consult where I identify what is currently blocking growth, recommend the highest-leverage fix, and decide whether it makes sense to work together. If I can't give you clear, actionable direction, I refund the consultation. ✅ 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲: A fixed-scope engagement that maps the business under the hood. Deliverables: an operational bottleneck map, an ROI forecast, a sequenced fix list, and a 90-day blueprint to reach your goals. ✅ 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 For businesses that want implementation, not just advice. I work inside the business to install the processes, workflows, accountability systems, and leadership changes needed for the model to hold. ✅ 𝗢𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆: Weekly support on operations, growth, hiring, and execution. If you are still the person your business cannot run without, send me a message - I'll respond within 24 hours.

I don’t just recruit — I build and run HR operations that scale. If you need someone who can hire, execute, and keep things moving without constant follow-up, I can help. I bring 13+ years of experience across HR, talent acquisition, and operations, working with fast-growing companies across Europe, the UAE, and international markets. Recently, I supported an e-commerce company entering the Netherlands, where I handled hiring, HR setup, compliance, and ongoing operations. What I typically own: * End-to-end hiring (sourcing, screening, closing) * HR operations (contracts, payroll coordination, compliance) * HRIS implementation (BambooHR, SAP, Greenhouse, etc.) * Vendor & stakeholder coordination * Reporting, dashboards, and process improvement * Managing freelancers, VAs, and cross-functional execution One recent example: I recruited 60 employees within 2 months while simultaneously setting up HR processes, contracts, and systems — ensuring smooth operations from day one. I don’t wait for perfect instructions. Once direction is clear, I take ownership, execute fast, and follow up until everything is closed. I’m comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where priorities shift quickly — and I move faster when things are undefined, not slower. If you're looking for a hands-on operator who can act as a reliable execution partner, I’d be glad to help.

⭐️Top Rated | 100% Job Success | 10+ Years | 100+ Clients Most finance freelancers can run a spreadsheet. Few understand what numbers are actually telling you, and even fewer can translate that into decisions. That gap is where I work. Over the past decade, I've worked alongside C-level executives at companies ranging from startups with less than $1M in revenue to $10B enterprises, across industries, across complexity levels, and including Big 4 engagements. I don't deliver financial outputs. I help leadership understand what's happening in their business, where it's going, and what to do about it. Where I add most value: *Fractional CFO engagements *Financial modeling, forecasting & budgeting *Cash flow analysis & working capital management *Cost structure review & optimization *Management reporting The executives I work with don't need someone to crunch numbers. They need a thinking partner who can sit at the table, challenge assumptions, and give them confidence in the decisions they're making. My process: 1. Introductory call - Get to know each other and understand the business before making any promises. 2. Scoped proposal - Defined deliverables and timeline 3. Delivery - Regular updates and clear communication, throughout If that's what you're looking for, let's talk.
